greedy for know iedge and experience and unfettered by pre judice or preconceived notions moves more easily and freely in the imaginative world or books than that of even the least sophist leated of

certain terms As Ralph Sneigrove said ina recent address in Or illla he has had Ii rough lime of it since CKNRTV went on the air and some irate people of the district have carried their dissaiisiaclion to unreasonable ridiculous and even cruel extremes in attempting to assess the television situation in this district it is difficultio arrive at any conclusion which would please all the people or even major ity of them because conditions change greatly and Lasies vary so much As Mr Snelgrove has pointed out the advent of CKVhTV has done much to bring good reception to areas where it was not possible be fore This applies particularlyio the district north of here which could counton only spotty reception bciorc Addilionaliy the Barrie station has brought good reception to the Orlilla area without the nccssliy of expensive antenna Some have reported good re sults from rabbitear antenna while others amcreci ing small outside antenna and getting good results at much lower cosi than was possible before This of course is all to the good but it does not take into account those who have had TV for some time and those who are now getting it and would like to be able to tune in to some other station than channel These people some of them television pioneers in thls area who have spent considerable sum of money on anienm in the past deserve some consid eraiion although uierc is no doubtihey are in min ority We believe that Mr Sneigrove is fullyawane of his responsibilities to these people and has stated several times that his station will do what it can to overcome the interference problem on the Buffalo channels mere is also the possibility that adjust ments can be made to the individual West or some additional filter or other Equipment added which will help in separate the Barrie from the Eliflaio signal gog AnLto sort iuoumnom controlso viewcrs may as well make the best of it and do what they can to improve their individual reception of Buffalo While it islannoying not to be able get Buffalo programs to which one has be come accustomed it must be admitted that CKVR does carry good variety of shows One suggestion we would make to Mr Sncigrove and that isto redlocale length of lime his test orn is on the air At present the patterncomes on an hour or more before the programming starts and this is enough to cause trouble on Buffalo We arenlt acquainted with the details of TV station operation but it does seem 10 us that the period of time the pattern is on before start of operation could be re duced to something closer to 15 minutes This would be one concession welcomed by those who like io waichpuiiaio before Barrie slalls ieiccasting Quebec Bilingualism Oshawa TimesGazelle Ontario residents who have visited Quebec have made
